Full Schedule for Pittsburgh Series

With the Toronto series fresh in our collective rear view mirrors, we can take a deep breath and quickly shift our focus to that much beloved team from Western Pennsylvania. Here is the complete series schedule for the Capitals semifinal series with the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Capitals second round of the playoffs will commence this Thursday night at Verizon Center. Puck drop is set for 7:30 PM. The Penguins concluded their series with the Columbus Blue Jackets last Thursday, so the Penguins will have been sitting idle for a full week before the second round begins. The Capitals will have the day-off on Monday before commencing with formal preparations for the Penguins on Tuesday morning at Kettler.
